It's a question of the length of the dash in the castling notations.
My Windows XP Pro SP2/Winboard 4.2.7 wants 0-0 and 0-0-0 ---- NOT longer,
double, dashes.
When I copy these games onto the Clipboard, a short dash [hyphen] in the
castling notation is changed to a long dash, which Winboard 4.2.7 then
chokes on.
If I change the long dashes to short ones [hyphens], everything is
copacetic.

That's a failing of whatever program you are using, possibly
Windows itself.

There is no long dash in the ASCII character set, which is what PGN
is composed of.
